What is depression? - Helen M. Farrell

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/what-is-dep...
Depression is the leading cause of disability in the world; in the United States, close to ten percent of adults struggle with the disease. But because it’s a mental illness, it can be a lot harder to understand than, say, high cholesterol. Helen M. Farrell examines the symptoms and treatments of depression, and gives some tips for how you might help a friend who is suffering.

[@ahfreshair9242]

I understand completely. The feeling of loneliness is unbearable when you need someone to be there for you in your time of need. Friends should know when you’re upset and not leave you behind to go do something fun without you..but they won’t know that you’re not okay unless you tell them. Not *everyone* understands when you’re upset, some people are blind to knowing people’s actual *true* emotions even if they’re a close friend that you care dearly about. If you need me I’m here for you.

The scariest thing is that feeling of emptiness and numbness. I remember wanting to feel something, anything, even if it meant that I had to feel the saddest. The mere recall makes me shiver. That was scary and that was when I realised that sadness, devastation, every negative emotion is better than not feeling emotions at all. Love to everyone. It's hard to push through but know that you're the most precious thing in the world. Live for yourself. Don't give up. You're so strong for clicking on this video, learning about it ands still breathing. YOU ARE STRONG AND VERY AMAZING. Sending love and hope and prayers for you to get outta depression soon. ❤️

[@Spiritryptamine]

Once, I believe I was depressed, during my teenager years to be precise. It was a dark period of my life. I couldn't muster up the strength to do anything worthwhile. Studying was impossible. But the worst part, I think, was the persistant flow of negative thoughts. It was overwhelming and destroyed my confidence in seconds. At the moment, I'm in a good place in life. Through therapy, I gained a lot of control of the flow of my thoughts : I don't control my thoughts, but I am able to dismiss the negative, argue against it and, eventually, have positive opinions about myself and what I do.

[@flappawaffle2787]

You know what makes it worse? The fact that you're not able to say "I'm depressed" without feeling guilt or certainty because in today's society it's a "trend". You can't openly talk about it with someone becuase you haven't experienced this thing and you have this status and so forth. Being told "just cheer up there's so much to be happy about" is like telling a person with asthma "just breathe, there's so much air"

Maybe, this explained why I've been feeling like I don't have any goals in my life or things that I'd like to achieve. Maybe, it's the feeling of what good having dreams or goals do anyway if you're not going to live long enough to make them come true.

Then I learn how to accept with my real emotion and respect all of that. The result is I feel better, and my thoughts is more relieve. I used this way to give advice for my friend and she said that she become more comfortable with her life.

Guys i had depression due to work stress and I have survived it by my own without any medication or medical help. This is for the people here who are having depression, running thoughts, sleepless nights, bad dreams and anxiety. Try 'mantra meditation' by chanting 'omm namah shivay'. You can see KZbin videos about chanting 'om namah shivay' 108 times etc (there are many videos regarding this) and follow the tone and tempo. Then sit in a relaxed meditation pose and chant it in very low tone so that you can feel your voice vibration in the throat, chest and brain. Focus on vibration and feel it. Do it 10-15 mins (you can do more time if want) every day before sleeping or at dawn (or many times you want). you can feel peacefulness in brain and feel that every running thoughts and bad thoughts are tearing out from brain. You can feel the change after within 4-5 days and within one month you can remove the depression completely (at least in my case). PS: I am not spreading any religion here. So if you are comfortable with it, then follow it. I come to know about it from internet also. You can dm me on Instagram @sourabhpal03 if it is helpful for you. I will glad to know that I can change someone's life. Thank you :)

when my depression was really really bad I couldn't understand this video's content, but now I understand it and even that my depression gets better than before.

[@avajensen4324]

A thing I’ve experienced, is feeling emotionless. Many people think depression is about being sad, but most of the time you just don’t feel anything. For a good amount of time, the only emotion I felt was anger. Because I was angry at myself for not feeling any emotion like sadness, happiness, etc.

[@UknownAfrican]

Yeah same. I think this is type of depression is the worst in my opinion and feels like it won’t ever go away. Honestly, I think it’s more so genetic than anything. I used to feel joy, love, pleasure etc. when I was in highschool but now after highschool I don’t fee any of those feelings anymore. No excitement, no pleasure, no interest to do anything. I purely do the things I do with my friends because I know it’s what I’m supposed to do to feel human. But even being people causes no joy or pleasure, only experiencing anxiety or fear for no reason. I’ve been in that same mindset and on a rare basis get mad over the fact I can’t feel those emotions anymore but, I found that doing that only makes it worse so it’s better to just deal it with for now and hope that in the future with the advancements of technology, science and medicine that we’ll one day find a cure or some type of relief for this type of depression.

[@UknownAfrican]

One thing that I believe has helped so far is listening to different types of music and singing along with them. My body, for some reason, can still remember the emotions I’ve felt in the past so, my thinking is that by listening to different types of music with different genres will help me “spark” those emotions in my body again. Start of with sad and depressed music but make sure to slowly and surely move upwards to exciting music and love songs.

When I'm very depressed, I've always thought of "I'm worthless", "I'm useless" and it escalates whenever I make mistakes "I'm good-for-nothing", "I'm doing my best but I only worsen" and at some point, it degressed to "Everything will be a lot better if I wasn't here" and maybe, if I wasn't that mentally stable, I wouldn't probably be in this world by now saying "For the sake of everyone who I dragged down", "Everything and everyone will roll off better without me"

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real it’s impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4m0eId_o7WjkLc "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest"

Depression is when you don’t feel feelings besides anger and sadness . Your numb to everything around you , you don’t feel joy in any activities, you don’t feel love being around people you love, it feels like even when I smile and are “happy” it’s all fake . I fake emotions because it’s easier to do that then ask for help and be labeled weak . Depression is being so dead inside that the thought of suicide isn’t so bad, it actually sounds better then being alive in a constant loop of self pity, misery , self hate . You get labeled lazy because you don’t do anything and you feel like a burden on everybody around you . You can’t get it out of your head , doesn’t matter how hard you try . “Happiness” , yea I miss that , I feel like I’ve been stuck In this for so long I forget what it feels like to be genuinely happy... Edit:it’s never to late to get help! Working on yourself is really helping me, self love is very important. Your life is valuable and you are loved.

[@rumeysaturk673]

I would like to talk about my treatment journey that has just begun. First of all, it was very difficult to ask for help because I didn't want to hear anyone mocking and saying that I was "exaggerating" something. So I delayed my request for help and believed that I might be really exaggerating. For about 2 years, I resisted thinking that even if these feelings and thoughts come and go, they will go. But especially in the last months, everything that I have experienced from time to time until now has started to suppress in a concentrated way. Although I always tried to console myself that you would be fine, I realized that I had a hard time believing it anymore and everything started to lose its meaning and joy completely. It's been a few days since I started treatment and I can't tell you everything has changed completely, of course, but knowing that there was a reason for my crying for no reason and this feeling of unhappiness that stuck with me gave me some relief. Even knowing that I feel seen and heard is quite enough for this stage. I wish the best of luck to anyone struggling with this, and I want you to know that you are not alone. This life is worth living.

What I was told by two of my cousins who are combat veterans and had PTSD was to throw away the medication or at least limit it and just do what you like doing, live life. That's what I did and slowly things got better. Don't give up and you will be just fine trust me. Good luck.

It's true, we're all products of causal influences; none of us got to choose anything about ourselves, our bodies, brains, genes, chemical balances, etc.. You can choose the influences to make things better though.

Lack of spiritual knowledge our mind stuck in nagtive energy then our body senses misguided us so god said keep faith in heart then souls connect with love. Be kind be honest be truthful be grateful obey souls respect souls respect rules respect nature respect women except everything happened in life somereason then people and nature coprate with love. Past is jail. Guilt and stress stop blessing. Moody and stubborn behavior brings lots fear in life. Cut down desire only grateful. Cut down sugar and eat fresh plant based food. Positive attitude is power of mind. Do little things for others builds up happiness in heart.

It feels like I have been separated from my home, somewhere far away, and had my memories erased of where I belonged and the person I loved the most. However the emotions and feelings remain unchanged. It's just like I don't remember anything except what I felt. I feel a craving feeling to go back.

[@moony__9821]

For anybody who needs this, as someone who has struggled and still struggles with depression, one thing that helps is finding the small things. It could just be a small action, like moving across your house to sit somewhere else. For me, I make a breakfast that makes me feel just a bit better. Don't expect for things to feel good again instantly, but eventually the small things get bigger and I have found that by slowing down and finding these joys or comforts, life feels more livable. One day at a time❤

@@synx4182 you're mostly right, but the major part isn't pretending and it's very real. I think it's because they don't have anything to complain about so life get's boring and you fall into it little by little. I think most depressed people aren't the ones with the hardest lives and the biggest struggles. These people do not have time to be depressed, mostly. I'm 19 and I have a normal life, not poor nor rich, I have friends and a family that loves me, a girlfriend that loves me and that I love. But i'm diagnosed as depressed. Last year I spent in a foreign country far from my family and friends, locked down, I spent 24h/24 in my bed didn't attend university and lost my body shape my face had red marks on it that slowly got away after a while (it was apparently because of stress my doctor said). The only reason I left the house was to buy food. And the food I bought wasn't the best. I found myself in a bad situation out of nowhere. Today I'm better but I haven't fully recovered. I have no reason to still be depressed yet I am. I don't even know why i'm saying all this but whatever just what passes through my mind.

Second depression came after 10 yrs but only cud last long for 7 months as i already know that i m depressed and started working to get rid of it through yoga asanas , breathing techniques, meditations, healings and spiritual guidance. This things are too powerful. Can bring out from any point of problem we r stuck in. I m thankful to Gurus who guided and taught me.

[@merathe9391]

Best way I can describe depression (at least for me, or how I felt when I was depressed) is just the feeling of tiredness. Tired of dealing with people, tired of waking up and just tired of living to be more specific. You just want to keep sleeping and never wake up. You just don’t have the energy to keep going or to push through, even though you want to live. So it just feels like a constant battle that never ends, and hopefully it gets easier with time but you gotta push through, you gotta

1. Try not to think about anything (COMPLETE ABSENCE OF MIND) for ten minutes. 2. If this is hard do 10 pushups and now try not to think anything. Since you have depreciated your energy your brain will not think that fast and you can make it much easier not to think about anything. 3.After 10 minutes focus on onlh posiive things .If you do it correctly, it might be hard for you to thing about negative things since you have shutdown your mind for sonetime. Know think aboug your dreams and continue. 4.If you cant do what you want then you will This might seem absurd but hey there is no loss. Hope you get well soon mate. Respect You csn try taking a shoeer before doing this and it might be more effective.

Depression , is losing the will to literally do anything . Not willing to sleep nor stay awake. Not willing to eat nor starve. Not willing to live or die , you don’t want to do anything but simply stop existing . You lose the will , the love , and hope you have for others . You get melancholic slowly , the more you want to get out of it , the more it sucks you in. If you ever go through it , please , instead of cutting or crying , try out getting help .

I've had very intense depression my first 3 years of high school. It was so bad I made no effort to make any new friends, constantly thought of suicide and came up with a plan with the time and date I would do it. I actually almost died from my first suicide attempt at 14. I had a few more after that but managed to pull myself out from ending my life again. I'm now 17, a senior in high school and still struggle but I try to stay positive as much as I can. I've been on antidepressants before and had therapy but it was so bad those 2 years, neither one of them helped. Just know that the only person who can help you stay afloat is yourself. You have to learn how to swim, otherwise you'll drown and go deeper and deeper into depression. I try my best to distract myself and focus on school but it's hard when my depression takes over my whole mindset and leaves me feeling so hopeless.
